The guy that gave you AC91-70 was actually being pretty helpful. HF is required in oceanic airspace but different flight information regions have other, different requirements. So it's important to read-up since applying one rule of thumb to the wrong part of the world can sometimes get you in trouble.
A good way to start familiarizing yourself with this stuff is looking at the Jeppesen, paper orienation charts. They are full of notes and useful nuggets of information.

No, the routes off the east coast or those across the gulf for that matter do not require HF. What you may have to do, depending on distance and altitude, is comply with non radar and or lost comms procedures as directed by the controller. I just dealt with that situation crossing the gulf below FL250.

Another thing to add is that “oceanic airspace” does not mean airspace over oceans. It means airspace in oceanic control areas (oceanic FIRs or OCAs within specific FIRs).
There are also specific routings through particular OCAs which do not require HF, like Blue Spruce routes, etc.
